# DYOE Guardian — Human-Verified Agent Action Approval

> DYOE Guardian — Human-Verified Agent Action Approval is a paid API for AI agents from agents.dyoeway.org, paid per call via x402, $2/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-13).

Runs trust and policy checks on a proposed agent action, escalating to a real human sign-off when needed, and returns approved, pending_human, or denied.

- Payment: x402

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability dyoe-guardian-human-verified-agent-action-approval-6b2529e4
```

Example prompt: Before I send $500 USDC to wallet 0xABC…123 on behalf of the user, check with DYOE Guardian whether this action is approved — the action is 'transfer funds', the counterparty is '0xABC…123', and the amount is 500.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when your agent is about to take a consequential or irreversible action — especially one involving money, identity, or external parties — and you need both automated policy enforcement AND guaranteed human sign-off on borderline or high-risk cases. For a cheap automated-only trust signal without human review, use the /verify endpoint at $0.01 instead.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required query parameters (action, counterparty, or amount) returns an error
- Unrecognized or untrusted counterparty may immediately return denied
- Human reviewer unavailable causes extended pending_human state with no SLA guarantee
- Payment of $15 USDC not made returns 402 Payment Required
- Network timeout leaves action in indeterminate state

## How this service works

DYOE Guardian — a HUMAN-VERIFIED decision: should an agent take this action for its human? Runs trust + policy, and a real person signs off when it matters. Returns approved / pending_human / denied. (For a cheap automated trust check only, use /verify at $0.01.) Input: ?action=&counterparty=&amount=

## Output

Returns one of three statuses: 'approved' (the action may proceed), 'pending_human' (a real human reviewer has been notified and must sign off before the agent can continue), or 'denied' (the action is blocked by trust or policy rules).
